The next HUGUK will be held on the 24th of August from 18.30 at Skillsmatter in London. Instead of a full day event this will be a shorter evening meetup with one or preferably two presenters. I'll post a link to the signups as soon as they open.

ZooKeeper is an open-source distributed coordination platform that brings robust, reliable and available coordination primitives such as locking to a number of projects, including HBase. In this talk I will give an introduction to ZooKeeper and its programming model, peek briefly under the covers at its internal implementation and give an overview of where the project is heading in the short and medium term.

Ideally we would like to have one more presentation. Who's got something Hadoop or "Hadoop ecosystem" related to talk about?

Let me know if you are interested in presenting in the comments to this post, to @skr or to johan@oskarsson.nu

We regularly organize meetups for Hadoop professionals and enthusiasts, featuring relevant talks about the various components of the Hadoop ecosystem. Just let us know if you would like to present something too.

We always try to get a sponsor for our meetups, so that we can provide free drinks and food to all attendants. Please let us know if you know any companies that might be interested in sponsoring.
